Short, fragile lashes

Lashes naturally follow a cycle of growth, rest and shedding, which is why we regularly lose some. But certain gestures can make them more fragile or cause breakage: overly vigorous makeup removal, repeated rubbing, intensive use of an eyelash curler or difficult removal of a long-wear mascara. Over time, lashes can then look thinner, less resistant or less dense. To preserve them, the aim is twofold: limit daily mechanical stress and use a fortifying product that helps strengthen the fiber and supports the lashes' natural growth cycle.

Start by limiting the gestures that can weaken them. When removing makeup, avoid rubbing the eyes with a cotton pad soaked in micellar water: prefer a cleansing balm, such as The HUYGENS Multi-Purpose Night Elixir Balm, which dissolves mascara and lets you remove it gently without pulling on the lashes. Also avoid handling or curling them excessively. In addition, regularly apply a fortifying lash serum, formulated with targeted actives such as Cressatine® HD, plant keratin or castor oil, to strengthen the fiber and support their natural growth.

Favor actives that act in a complementary way on the resistance, quality and natural growth of the lashes. HUYGENS lash products notably combine Cressatine® HD, a plant-based active used to support lash growth, with plant keratin, which helps strengthen their structure, and organic castor oil, known for its nourishing properties. This combination is at the heart of The Booster Lash & Brow Serum and The Booster Black Lash Serum, to gradually help lashes look longer, denser and more resistant.

A lash product works over time because lash growth is linked to a natural cycle spanning several weeks. Regularity is therefore essential: an occasional application cannot produce the same results as sustained daily use. With The HUYGENS Booster Lash & Brow Serum, results were notably assessed after 5 weeks of use: clinical measurements showed an average improvement of +12% in lash length and density/volume, with results of up to +19%. The aim is therefore to make the product a lasting part of your routine rather than expecting an immediate effect.

Yes, there is no need to stop wearing mascara during a fortifying routine. The Booster Lash & Brow Serum is used like a serum: apply it to clean lashes and let the formula dry before applying makeup. To combine care and makeup directly, The Booster Black Lash Serum offers a 2-in-1 alternative: its black formula works as a serum-mascara, while bringing definition, color and natural volume. In both cases, pay particular attention to makeup removal so as not to mechanically weaken the lashes.

Yes, provided the product was formulated for both areas. This is notably the case of The HUYGENS Booster Lash & Brow Serum, which can be applied to the lashes but also to the brows to support their natural growth and gradually improve their appearance. On the brows, apply the product directly to the areas you want to strengthen, on clean skin, so that the formula is in contact with the hairs. As with the lashes, results rely above all on regular application over several weeks.
